I give it a 9. Yes, we saw last year Sharapova can go out early but Lisicki was known to be an excellent grasscourter. So a massive upset. But given that even the top players tend to have occasional upset losses, I don't quite give a 10, I give a 9.

I'll give it a 10+. You just didn't expect that. After an impressive R128 match against Hanescu, you could expect nothing but a win from Fed. He just doesn't lose R64 matches at slams. Well, definitely not at Wimbledon. But today it happened. The QF streak has ended. It's ended at Wimbledon, on Fed's best surface. Just a massive upset.

Fed's the most consistent performer at slams of all time.

On the other hand he can't winning forever so had to lose.

Still I thought he would win down to the last point.

I thought if he had won the 4th set - he was going to win the match. But to Stakhovsky's credit...he held it together. Stakhovsky said: "I'm in disbelief that it happened. I was playing my best tennis I ever played and it almost wasn't enough to be Roger. I'm incredibly happy."

So it took someone playing their best tennis ever to beat him. Congrats to Stakhovsky.

Massive indeed.I fully expected Fed to cruise through to week 2 comfortable in the knowledge that Nadal would not be the one to deny him another GS title. Looks like it only took an aggressive, attacking player to do the trick.

In general he loses slams to the more aggressive/attacking player. Berdych USO 2012, Tsonga Wimbledon 2011, Tsonga at the French. Watching Stakhovski attack the net even in the tie-break in the fourth set, committed to bring the game to Roger at the net, was super impressive. Of course had he lost we'd be talking about how serve and volley has no place in today's game and he was a fool to attack the net all the time. Remember Roddick also took up the approach after hiring Connors in 2006/2007 and had some success but never when it mattered.

Super Impressive indeed!However, I think comparing Roddick's late career change in tactics to Stakhovski's more natural ability is a bit of a stretch.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, Pawan. He has lost to players like Nadal, Murray and Nole many, many times. In short, he loses to all sorts of players whoever is able to take it to him.

Actually, Fed had tight five-setters against Haas at RG '09 and Benneteau at Wim '12 in the days after Nadal's losses. Maybe he had extra pressure to win as his most difficult opponent Nadal was out.

Great point, monster. Connors was trying to turn a square into a circle. And even at that, Pawan, Roddick had massive though short-lived success reaching the US Open final for only the 2nd time and first time since he won in 2003.

We are left to speculate what he might have achieved if he moved more naturally into the forecourt and at the net. OK, I'm done.

I'll give it a 7. Knowing that Sabine is very dangerous on grass, it came down to if she can keep her level up for the entire match. If she could, she could win the match. And that happened. But given Serena's form since last year's Wimbledon, it was an upset. I might give an 8 but I'm such a big Sabine fan that I give only a 7. I.e. not an upset, the result was NID.
